November 4, 2001 BUT IT MUST HAVE BEEN A WONDERFUL EVENING: A man got so drunk
at the Red Lion pub in Trimdon, England, that he was found the next day
sleeping in a nearby tree. He was so deeply unconscious that firemen,
who climbed up and shook him, still could not wake him up, so he was
lowered to the ground by people who specialize in cliff rescues. I FEEL PRETTY, OH SO PRETTY: Two young men, convicted of
throwing beer bottles at a car and making derogatory remarks to a woman
inside, were given a choice by the judge: 60 days in jail or dress up as
women and promenade down Main Street in Coshocton, Ohio, for an hour.
They chose the latter. A STRONG FAMILY SOLVES ITS OWN PROBLEMS: A 61-year-old
Illinois woman, afraid her daughter was going to turn her in over some
illegal business activity, hired her former son-in-law to kill her. The
man, who had been married to another of the woman's daughters, recruited
an accomplice who immediately betrayed him. WHY COULDN'T THEY TRY DRAMA CLUB? A very helpful high school
security guard in New Jersey set up auditions at a strip club for two
teenage students. POINT OF ORDER, POINT OF OR... WHAP! Lawmakers in Indonesia
seem particularly pugnacious these days during debates in the People's
Consultative Assembly. A group of them demanded the right to address the
body and to set up their own faction. The speaker refused them. Mike Pingree

in the Boston Sunday Herald. You can read it by clicking here: |
